Ronnie Price had right elbow surgery to remove bone spurs and will be out for 6-8 weeks.

He is out for the season. Price has been dealing with his nagging elbow injury since at least Jan. 14, but he should be ready for next year. He'll be an unrestricted free agent this coming summer. Feb 25 - 2:42 PM

Ronnie Price is set to undergo surgery to remove a bone spur in his right elbow on Wednesday, and head coach Byron Scott said that he will miss the remainder of the 2014-15 season.

With Price sidelined, Jeremy Lin will likely soak up a majority of his reserve minutes and he's due for a boost in value. Lin has been playing well lately, putting up 25 and 18 points in his previous two outings, so he's worth a look in standard leagues for owners seeking some scoring, assists, 3-pointers and steals.

Price's elbow injury is one reason for his absence, but coach Byron Scott also wants to figure out his "best lineups" and apparently they don't include Price. His absence can only be a good thing for the value of Jordan Clarkson and Jeremy Lin, both of whom are nevertheless failing to provide value in standard leagues. Feb 6 - 6:17 PM

He has an allergy issue and will miss his second straight game. Wayne Ellington will get another start and Jabari Brown will be the sixth man for the Lakers tonight. Expect both to be around 30 minutes and they could also be score in the teens tonight. Jordan Clarkson is also a nice play tonight.

Young's knee remains unchanged, so it's hard to see how that's going to happen. The Lakers are considering shutting down Young, but the team isn't at that point yet. "We’re not in a big hurry," Scott said. "As long as he has some problems going on in there, we’re going to take our time." We wouldn't expect Swaggy P back this season.

Bryant added that he "could" play beyond the 2015-16 season, but right now the future Hall-of-Famer expects it to be his last. He could begin running in 10 days and should be healthy for the start of next season, though his age and recent injury history will make him a very risky option on draft day.

Updating a previous item, Carlos Boozer (illness) will not play against the 76ers on Monday.

With Boozer now out, the Lakers could rest one more big man in their rotation. It was Boozer and Ed Davis yesterday, so maybe they go that route again. Robert Sacre is warming up and we'll pass along more info as we receive it.

He still cannot go through contact just yet. Randle appears to be on track for his second consecutive run at Las Vegas Summer League, an event in which he dominated at times in 2014. He'll be someone to watch over the summer and could be a sneaky pickup next season depending how the Lakers handle their frontcourt issues.
